Emilie Shapiro

Rock Your Style

This dramatic ring is made for the woman whose style expresses her eagerness to accept destiny's plan. Emilie Shapiro lets fate decide the final design of her ring and creates each piece using a free-form process called water casting in which molten metal is thrown into water and solidifies into a unique, organic shape. Handcrafted in New York City.

“A goal is just a dream without a deadline.”

There was never a moment that Emilie Shapiro didn't consider herself an artist. "Before I could speak I expressed myself through what I made with my hands," she says. "I am so incredibly lucky that my parents allowed me to pursue life on the path I chose." That path led to a line of jewelry comprised entirely of one-of-a-kind pieces she crafts by combining her metalsmithing skills with her love of found objects. "I have a massive stone collection that I started when I was two," says the New York City resident. "I usually pull out my drawers of gems and minerals and something catches my eye that I haven't seen before or forgot about." When Emilie creates a piece, she says she imagines the wearer seeing a reflection of themselves in it—“beauty in imperfection."
